Pioneering programs aim to infuse our legal and educational systems with more empathic thinking, even as pundits argue over whether we should bother empathizing with our political opposites at all. Meanwhile, we are inundated with the buzzily termed \"empathic marketing\"--which may very well be a contradiction in terms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003cem\u003eI Feel You, \u003c\/em\u003e Cris Beam carves through the noise with a revelatory exploration of how we perform empathy, how it is learned, what it can do--indeed, what empathy is in the first place. She takes us to the labs where the neural networks of compassion are being mapped, and the classrooms where children are being trained to see others' views. Beam visits courtrooms and prisons, asking how empathy might transform our justice system. She travels to places wracked by oppression and genocide, where reconciliation seems impossible, to report on efforts to heal society's deepest wounds through human connection. And finally, she turns to how we, as individuals, can foster compassion for ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Brimming with the sensitive and nuanced storytelling that has made Beam one of our most respected journalists, \u003cem\u003eI Feel You \u003c\/em\u003eis an eye-opening affirmation of empathy's potential.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cris Beam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0544558162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780544558168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2018 pg. 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2018 pg. 95","brand":"Cris Beam","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946769187071,"sku":"9780544558168","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fc234422-2dff-42b6-882e-051ff3fcfa95.jpg?v=1681515036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-feel-you-cris-beam-9780544558168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
